Update history

October 26, 2012 Patch (Spectral Halloween Special)

  • Added Ghost Town to the game.
  • Added mission Calignious Caper.

July 10, 2013 Patch

  • Renamed mvm_coaltown_event to mvm_ghost_town to fix a problem with voting for challenges in MvM when on Coal Town.

October 21, 2016 Patch (Scream Fortress 2016)

  • Fixed Mann vs. Machine zombies not using the correct skin in Ghost Town outside of the Halloween event.

October 25, 2016 Patch

November 10, 2016 Patch

  • Updated mvm_ghost_town to fix the cube maps.

Bugs

  • When playing with minimal HUD, the bar on the top does not display correctly.
  • Some of the zombie reskins encountered on this map do not have an animation for jumping into the bomb hatch; as a result, they appear to simply vanish when the wave is failed.
  • When Halloween mode is disabled, the zombies appear as humans.
  • Sentry Busters spawn with Demoman's zombified upper arms levitating at their sides, and Spine-Chilling Skull hats on their invisible heads when Halloween mode is activated.
    • This can also happen to the Critical Demoknights, appearing to have a Sentry Buster model, but they cannot explode and attack normally.
  • At the robot's left drop point, knocking them back may cause them to become stuck in the ground and therefore invulnerable.

Trivia

  • There is a medkit and an ammobox that are unreachable without noclip.
  • There is a second version of Caliginous Caper available for this map that does not contain zombies, has slightly different robots, and ends early before every bot is dead.
